Again, thank you for your input. Expect an article later this week on membership rates and fees. Y officials have not mentioned a teen center at the new facility. This article —http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2011/12/live_from_the_dow_bay_area_fam_3.html — covers amenities available now and some things that are scheduled to be available in January.

Cantstandignorance — Thank you for reading and providing input. I'll pass your suggestion on to an editor, but I am unable to write the article since my parents are actually the owners. I help out in the summer as a car hop, so perhaps it will be me serving you come April.

CappGuy, Thank you for the comment. I am providing coverage on the new Dow Bay Area Family Y complex during its first week — and beyond, as appropriate since it is a large investment in Bay County. As for A&W, it is scheduled to open on April 1. More information can be found on the new web site here: http://www.awdriveinn.com/
